The Lost Pyramids of Caral

The lost pyramids of Caral, Peru, are one of the largest in the world, covering an area of 15 football fields. The magnificent ancient city was discovered in 2001. The site is a thousand years older than the earliest known civilization in the Americas and, at 2,627 BC, is as old as the pyramids of Egypt. (Source: bbc.co.uk)
